Half gig, half hip hop dance show and half panto! This latest unique show sees folk powerhouse The Demon Barbers follow up their XL show by teaming up with artists from Breaking Tradition Dance Company for a new seasonal special that continues their slightly unhinged approach to their family friendly entertainment. It's Christmas Eve and the regulars of Ye Olde Fighting Cocks are excited about the night ahead, it's going to be the folk and hip hop party of the year. To their dismay the landlady, Jasmineezer Scrooge, has more profitable ambitions and is preparing to launch her new business, Jazzles nightclub. Cheap alco-pops, seedy lighting and mind-numbing bass beats are all in danger of alienating the local community and ruining Christmas! Fortunately, some insightful souls are at hand to lead her back to her senses. Musicians and dancers deliver 150% of the very best festive live music, song and dance. Guaranteed to raise weary spirits and send the audience home smiling.
